Middle Tennessee Jewish Parents Collective
Connecting and Supporting Families in #JewishNashville
What is it?
The purpose of the Collective is simple: to connect, support one another, and share resources for raising Jewish children in our community.
​
This group, spearheaded by The Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville and co-chairs, Ayelet Berger & Penny Woody, is a safe space to connect with other Jewish families with school-aged children. Fill out our Interest and Expectations survey to get on the list for emails and tell us what you're looking for from this group.
​
We are excited to connect with you, learn from one another, and build a supportive community for our children and families.
